thanks again netnut (nice nick btw ) I can read/understand dutch, had a look, will check when I will start using the ONT/PON, once i got a local lan working

thanks, indeed with odido that should work as you say, though I wonder if I could also replace the PON and directly plug the fiber cable into the baremetal.
As for the spf+ "no carrier" problem, it seems to be a driver issue, tried freebsd 14 live and still not working but in ubuntu it does.
Also posted here https://forums.freebsd.org/threads/cant-get-sfp-nic-to-work-amd-driver-issue.93186/ let's see if it can be fixed somehow.

Tutorials and FAQs / Odido ISP Netherlands Connection Guide

hi all

I'm having some trouble to get my Internet working with Odido in NL, so I thought to start this threat which hopefully when solved can be a guide for people to use their own modem/router as well for Odido in NL.
Some links from that might be helpful for own modem/router setup:

https://community.odido.nl/thuisnetwerk-566/my-own-modem-357022
Official settings to be used provided by Odido:
https://assets.odido.nl/x/6ba57ca29d/eigen-modem-modem-instellingen.pdf

I just upgraded to a 8 gbps fiber WAN connection, earlier 1 gbps. (fyi there is no ipv6 support, so all only on ipv4)

fiberoptic cable comes into the apartment and goes into PON

Odido provides for speeds above 1 gbps the following PON:

OptiXstar HN8010Ts-20 XGS-PON Terminal (it is setup to run on ip 192.168.100.1)

It has a 10gbps RJ45 port that would go into the WAN port of the Odido provided Zyxel T-75 (which is a zyxel-ex7501-b0).

Earlier I had already replaced the provide modem when I was on 1 gbps. The RJ45 cable from the PON was plugged into a T2500G-10TS (tp-link 1G 8 port switch) on which I had created a VLAN on TAG ID 300.

Then another RJ45 cable from the T2500G-10TS went into my Ubiquiti edgerouter lite into eth0 which was configured to receive IP via dhcp (no other config on vlan or else on that nic).

eth1 was configured to run dhcp server and went into a switch for my local network etc.

That all works.

Now I got a baremetal machine:

4x2.5 gbps RJ45 sockets (igc0 to igc3)
igc0: <Intel(R) Ethernet Controller I226-IT> mem 0xfc900000-0xfc9fffff,0xfca00000-0xfca03fff at device 0.0 on pci4

I installed OPNsense on it, no problems and it is running:

OPNsense 24.1-amd64
FreeBSD 13.2-RELEASE-p9
OpenSSL 3.0.12
FreeBSD OPNsense.localdomain 13.2-RELEASE-p9 FreeBSD 13.2-RELEASE-p9 stable/24.1-n254969-8659880248c SMP amd6

I want one of the sfp+ sockets to be the "WAN" socket, so I connected the RJ45 cable from the PON to this sfp+ port. For now I will configure one of the RJ45 (igc0) to have a static local lan IP (10.0.0.120) so I can reach opnsense machine to configure it, the other RJ45 (igc1) I will configure for now to dhcp. I set it in the following way:

In Interfaces-->Assignments-->I added 2 RJ45 lan interfaces (igc0 and igc1)

Then I enabled the igc0 interface and set a static ip from my local network (10.0.0.120) to it, that is also the IP through which I then start accessing the OPNsense box via my laptop in the local network to do the settings (the other end of the cable goes into a temporary wifi access point).

Odido splits up internet, voip, and iptv into three vlan's. I only use their internet which is on VLAN 300, so did the following:

Interfaces-->Other Types-->VLAN hit the plus to add a VLAN selected the SFP+ (ax1) as parent, set VLAN tag to 300 and saved it, then:

In Interfaces-->Assignments i assign device VLAN to sfp+ (ax1) interface and set it to dhcp.

This is not working, there is no IP being assigned.

This should work but does not, it shows as if no cable is connected and says "no carrier". Connecting via ssh to the opnsense box and checking with ifconfig the interfaces, the sfp+ (ax1) interface shows

media: Ethernet autoselect
status: no carrier

For testing purposes I configured on the baremetal opnsense machine as above but using one of the RJ45 as WAN port and not the sfp+ (ax1). That did work, the interface gets an IP assigned from the provider. So I assume there must be an issue with the sfp+

Decided to test the following, create a local network from the baremetal machine sfp+ with local server on 10.0.0.x network who also has sfp+ nic interface, which is already configured on static ip 10.0.0.15.

Configured on opensense new (removed vlan setting etc. from before) sfp+ (ax1) to static ip 10.0.0.5 connected the sfp+ on the opnsense baremetal and the local server sfp+ but opnsense shows no carrier and the machines cannot ping each other.
The LEDs on the physical NICs on both ends shows cables are plugged in.

fyi I do know the sfp+ interfaces, cables etc. are working, before I installed pfsense i had ubuntu on the baremetal running and had established successful connections with the sfp+ nics and the local server.

Tried the following on sfp+ on baremetal:

^ax0 is connected with a DAC cable 10Gtek 7meters CAP-10GSFP-P7M 10GBase-CU to a arch linux machine who has an Intel X710 NIC with two sfp+ ports.

Connection info (ifconfig/ethtool) on arch linux shows this:

On the baremetal OPNsense machine I set up a static ip on sftp+ nic ax0.
Also on baremetal configured WAN device to get IP via dhcp4 and be ax1 (which is using the sfp+ Walsun with RJ45 cable cat6e, 1meter):
